Boxer Amir Khan and Faryal Makhdoom have spoken following their very public spat on social media.

Faryal posted a statement and a new image on Instagram, whilst Amir, who is still in Dubai said he had 'not slept'.

On Friday Amir tweeted that his four-year marriage was over and Faryal responded with her own accusations. She later deleted the tweets.

Faryal said in a statement, “My account was genuinely hacked and I thought Amir’s was too as he never mentioned a divorce to me and instead went to social media — I was a bit confused.

“This is a private matter in my life that’s blown out of proportion and it’s not right for me as a woman nor my little girl.

“I’m not sure where Amir has gotten his information from and whether he was under the influence or what was going through his head when he did this — But clearly as many of you may no I am no cheat that’s not me and never will be. (Never ever been a story about me in the past, and never will be).

“From today onwards I will not talk about this matter as it’s my marriage and a very touchy/sensitive matter to me.

She added, “I’ve finally regrouped myself and realised my health is more important than anything.

“I remember telling you guys that I was going through the toughest time of my life and the hardest year.

“Obviously with the fights, operation, drama, all that.

"It was just too much for everyone and especially for us as a couple.

"Anyway I hope you guys are all ok.

"Back to reality. I have so much work to do."

Speaking to the Mirror Amir said: “I don’t know what to say. I’m gutted. I’ve not slept all night.

Earlier he confirmed the break-up via Snapchat, “I went to see some people at the marina and I’ve been up all night. I couldn’t sleep. I need time to think. I just need to rest and to speak to some people.”

He added: ‘Nothing has been hacked. We have to move forward it’s not healthy for any of us.

‘I wish her all the best in the future.

‘Don’t want you guys to worry…What’s done is done, it’s all true.’
